Eric Gagne Wants to Return to MLB

Team Canada has a couple old and recognizable names currently
on their World Baseball Classic and while one is a complete douche bag that is
such a bad pitcher it took him four tries to INTENTIONALLY hit Yankees third
baseman Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Dumpster and no that’s not an autocorrect or a
typographical error, the other was a pretty damn good closer for a long time
for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gagne is now looking to potentially make his way
back to the Los Angeles Dodgers or any team in Major League Baseball for that
matter and he is hoping the World Baseball Classic can act as his audition for
such a comeback.

It’s been nearly 10 years since Gagne was seen in a MLB
stadium pitching in an MLB game but in his first audition for Team Canada he
was seen throwing a scoreless inning against the Toronto Blue Jays. In the
contest Gagne’s fastball was clocked at 93 MPH which is great considering the
fact that he is not 41-years old.

Gagne won the 2003 NL Cy Young Award with the Los Angeles
Dodgers and finished his 10-year career with a 33-26 record with 187 saves
including 55 saves in 2003.

If Gagne wants to take a minor league deal with the Yankees
you know what I always say…. There’s no such thing as a bad minor league deal.
I’d be down. What say you?
